Post a picture of your collection of Catholic Books.

Here’s mine - it’s mostly Bibles.

Pfff. Don’t you know how to be a stereotype? Catholics don’t read the Bible.
 
I cannotopst at te moment, but I have my Daily Roman Missal, a Bible, and quite a few books on the saints (maximilian Kolbe and John Paul the Secons being prevalent among them)

I tried to get most of the Christian ones together, not all Catholic per se, but anyway, this causes the main point in the image to not be the center of focus, it’s more to the bottom.

It looks a lot less stable in the picture of a structure than it actually is.

Ordered left to right in order of importance
 
I will have to take a few different pictures, as I currently have 5 shelves worth of Catholic Books 🤓
 
This thread makes me want to go sort my books by categories. Right now my books are all catawumpus
 
Oh man that’s an awesome collection. I’d have a field day with that.

I’m a hardcore bibliophile.

I would have to rummage through my 10 or so bookshelves of random books to find the Catholic ones.

Count me in too! I specialize in Bibles especially American, and Lives of the Saints. I also have many volumes of the Fathers of the Church. I also have a good collection of Richard Challoner’s works as well as Newman’s. Controversial works are also of interest to me. I also have a small collection of autograph letters signed by Newman.
 
Man you guys with your antique collections make me jealous.

I can’t even afford to buy a Haydock Bible for $150 or a Douay-Rheims/Clementine Vulgate interlinear Bible…

I can’t even imagine what a first edition Rheims-Douai or some other unique treasure like that would cost… probably a couple months income for me!

This Baronius Press Douay-Rheims/Clementine Vulgate side by side Bible makes my mouth water… look at how gorgeous this thing is:

The cheapest copies of it I can find are about $100 including shipping… twice as much as I could afford right now. 😦

The most expensive Bible I own right now is my hardcover Didache NABRE, which I think was about $60.

I adore this bad boy:

There will be a very nice auction here in Europe this late January, at one of the most reputed auction houses. I’ll PM you the catalogue the day it gets published. (I think you’ll find it worth your attention, especially because antique books crossing the Atlantique become 10 times more expensive on average.)
